This passage offers some (but only some) of the answers, and points you to other internet sources that can
3、 help you find the rest of the answers. Heres a brief “FAQ“ (Frequently Asked Questions) on Generation X: How did we get this name, “Generation X“ anyway? Blame Douglas Coupland of British Columbia, Canada, for one. It was also the name of a British Punk group in the 1970s featuring 1980s soloist Bi
4、lly Idol. In a 1995 interview, Coupland denied any connection, saying: “The books title came not from Billy Idols band, as many supposed, but from the final chapter of a funny sociological book on American class structure titled Class, by Paul Fussell. In his final chapter, Fussell named an “X“ cate
5、gory of people who wanted to hop off the merry-go-round of status, money, and social climbing that so often frames modern existence.“ Whatever you say, Doug. When Coupland wrote his book in 1991, the phrase was picked up by marketers desperately seeking a name for the “generation without a name“. Of
6、 course theres been much discussion about “slackers“ (懒惰的人) comes to mind. Other popular terms are “Thirteeners“ or “13th Generation“, which came from a book by Neil Howe and William Strauss called “Generations“, in which we are listed as the 13th generation of the USA since 1620. Who exactly is Gen
7、-X? This question is in hot dispute. In the mid-1980s the Gen-Xers had been labeled “Baby Busters“ (生育低谷期出生的人), due to the low birthrates of the 1965-1975 age bracket. Demographers (人口统计学家) noticed as early as 1966 that the “boom“ (婴儿潮) was over, and began planning and budgeting downward for this ma
8、ssive change from the “boom“ in birth between 1946-1964. (These “Boomer“ dates, by the way, have never been in doubt nor have they been doubted or tampered with by the media.) Today, however, many people lump (将.看作一体) those born in the years 1961-1981 together. Why 1961? Despite being Doug Couplands

13、ra, the biggest slum in Kenya. These women ranged in age from 16 to 45 but had one thing in common: AIDS had devastated their lives. A woman Ill call Chanya told me her story. Chanya is a mother in her 30s trying to raise four children. She does not fit the typical profile of a person living with AI
14、DS at least not the profile that prevails in the West. She is not a man who has sex with men; she is not a sex worker; she does not use IV drugs. She has engaged in no behavior at all that is high risk for AIDS, except for one she got married. Her husband, tragically, did engage in high-risk behavio
15、r: he had unprotected sex outside his marriage. Chanyas story is not rare. Why are women so vulnerable? Physiological differences make women twice as likely as men to contract HIV from an infected partner during sex. In many countries, sexual inequality compounds the hazard by making it difficult, i
16、f not impossible, for women to enforce their choices about whom they have sex with, or to insist that men wear condoms. But one of the deadliest problems is that women simply dont have the tools to protect themselves. Despite the array of breakthroughs weve seen for AIDS treatment, prevention effort
17、s still rely on the three practices described by the abbreviation ABC (“Abstain, be faithful, use condoms“). These approaches work, and we must encourage them, but they all depend on a mans cooperation. For millions of married women, abstinence is unrealistic, being faithful is insufficient and the
18、use of condoms is not under their control. Through our foundation, my husband, Bill, and I are working to develop tools that can put the power to prevent AIDS into the hands of women. Microbicides are one exciting new prevention tool in development. These are colorless, odorless gels that a woman co
19、uld apply without her partners knowledge to prevent sexual transmission of HIV. Researchers are also studying other promising measures that could give women the power to protect themselves with-out depending on their partners. Ten years ago, 1 percent of women in South Africa had contracted HIV; tod
20、ay the number is 25 percent. These women are living a nightmare, but we in rich countries are the ones who have to wake up. We need to develop prevention tools that can give women a chance to defend themselves. We need to deliver them as soon as theyre available, and we need to deploy now the preven
21、tion tools we already have. Sadly, nothing can come fast enough for Chanya. But if we hurry, we can deliver these new advances in time to protect her children. （分数：88.50）(1).The profile of AIDS patients that prevails in the West is the following except_.（分数：17.70）A.a man who has sex with menB.a pers

26、news reportThe temperature of the Sun is over 5, 000 degrees Fahrenheit at the surface, but it rises to perhaps more than 16 million degrees at the center. The Sun is so much hotter than the Earth that matter can exist only as a gas, except at the core. In the core of the sun, the pressures are so g
27、reat against the gases that, despite high temperature, there may be a small solid core. However, no one really knows, since the center of the Sun can never be directly observed. Solar astronomers do know that the Sun is divided into five layers or zones. Starting at the outside and going down into t
28、he Sun, the zones are the corona, chromosphere, photosphere, convection zone, and finally the core. The first three zones are regarded as the Suns atmosphere, But since the Sun has no solid surface, it is hard to tell where the atmosphere ends and the main body of the Sun begins. The Suns outermost
29、layer begins about 10,000 miles above the visible surface and goes outward for millions of miles. This is the only part of the Sun that can be seen during an eclipse such as the one in February 1979. At any other time, the corona can be seen only when special instruments are used on cameras and tele
30、scopes to shut out the glare of the Suns rays. The corona is a brilliant, pearly white, filmy light, about as bright as the full Moon. Its beautiful rays are a sensational sight during an eclipse. The coronas rays flash out in a brilliant fan that has wispy spikelike rays near the Suns north and sou
31、th poles. The corona is thickest at the suns equator. The corona rays are made up of gases streaming outward at tremendous speeds and reaching a temperature of more than 2 million degrees Fahrenheit. The rays of gas thin out as they reach the space around the planets. By the time the Suns corona ray
32、s reach the Earth, they are weak and invisible. （分数：88.50）(1).Matter on the Sun can exist only in the form of gas because of the Suns _.（分数：17.70）A.sizeB.ageC.locationD.temperature(2).With what topic is the second paragraph mainly concerned?（分数：17.70）A.How the Sun evolved.B.The structure of the Sun.

35、o work or not to work outside their home is a luxury: they must work to survive. Others face a hard decision. Perhaps the easiest choice has to do with economics. One husband said, “Marge and I decided after careful consideration that for her to go back to work at this moment was an extravagance (奢侈
36、) we couldnt afford.“ With two preschool children, it soon became clear in their figuring that with babysitters (临时照看小孩的人), transportation, and increased taxes, rather than having more money, they might actually end“ up with less. Economic factors are usually the first to be considered, but they are
37、 not the most important. The most important aspects of the decision have to do with the emotional needs of each member of the family. It is in this area that husbands and wives find themselves having to face many confusing and conflicting feelings. There are many women who find that homemaking is bo
38、ring or who feel imprisoned (被囚禁) if they have to stay home with a young child or several children. On the other hand, there are women who think that homemaking gives them the deepest satisfaction. From my own experience, I would like to suggest that sometimes the decision to go back to is made in t
39、oo much haste. There are few decisions that I now regret more, I wasnt mature enough to see how much I could have gained at home. I regret my impatience to get on with my career., I wish I had allowed myself the luxury of watching the world through my little girls eyes. （分数：-1.00）(1).Which word in t
